Lockheed Martin Employer Reviews

My typical day consist of checking government contracts for accuracy and entering them into a few databases, transferring government funds to ensure funds are available in order to pay the contracts, reconciling funds for the month to make sure a complete and comcise ledger is kept, making sure training funds are available for employees who have requested – more... training. Each day is filled with a heavy workload that have certain timre restraints on them. – less

A great 15-year effort. Well run company - lots of opportunity for management and leadership experience.

Work involved building bombs. Major issue with the company is the local cliques within the plant. Nothing further to add.

I got to meet a lot of different people as well as contractors. learned about different businesses and professions during each shift

I appreciated my time at Lockheed Martin for the true engineering life cycle experience. Looking back at my time, I am grateful I started here and was able to apply what I learned to my future endeavors.

Train you to know the equipment they way the company and customer wants the product to work.

I would start off by saying that my review of this particular branch of Lockheed has nothing to do with the parent company. Turn over rates during my tenure were bad. Compensation was terrible.

I learned all of the components of the project assigned to, Team was enthusiastic, hard working and willing to help co-workers when needed. Supervisor always had her door open for suggestions and always able to answer questions. The most enjoyable was we were a team. The hardest part of the job wa making sure all team members projects did not fall behind – more... and offer help when needed. Daily meetings were great kept all members up to speed. – less

Learned the software life cycle process, how to properly test and debug code. The hardest part is being in a confined environment because of security measures.

In the year I have been with Lockheed Martin, I find that the management has continually lived up to and fostered the company's values among its employees. I have been able to flex my time, including working from home if necessary, to fit my family's schedule, allowing me to be able to pick up my kids from school and spend time with them in the afternoon. – more... I enjoy going to the office daily because of the quality of people on my project team--not only highly skilled and professional in their work, but also good people to be around and socialize with. The most enjoyable part of my job has been the ability to be create a product (learning content) that is delivered and used by the customer. Management has consistently been encouraging and supportive of the work me and my team has done. They keep up project morale by showing gratitude, even with a simple thank you for work that is done. They have also made sure to relay customer gratitude as well. – less

- A typical day which is a 7 day 12 hr. work week. I maintain flight quality for our UAS (unmanned aircraft system).
- I've learned to enhance my mechanical skillset
- As management I have 4 personnel to coordinate, execute and perform daily duties to maintain flight operatioins.
- Predicting weather that may change at any given moment
- Tether splicing – more... would be the hardest part of the job but with a team and when everyone know their respective role the work becomes easier to deal with
- I enjoy the comradery of a family oriented atmosphere. – less

Have to work hard to stand out - if a big company is for you - Lockheed is a great company to work for. Good processes/procedures in place, but you can tell you are working for a much bigger "machine" and you are just one of 130,000!

Overall a good place to work
very challenging assignments
technically first class
program was very rewarding with management top notch
most enjoyable part of job was working with Navy customer and learning contracts

I've met a lot of very smart, diverse and interesting people while working at Lockheed. You get a very diverse group of individuals from the hardcore software developers to the program office. I enjoy the challenge of working with each group and the opportunities I get to interact with many different groups throughout the company.

The customer was scheduled to have all of the users' workstations upgraded every 3 yrs. It was our job to go and replace each and one. By the time we replaced everyone's it was time to start over. We also went around and updated the latest windows program when the time came. The hardest part of the job was pushing a cart of 21 wks from office to office – more... or building and the most enjoyable was working with a great team – less

Every day is a challenge, with new opportunities to excel. There is never a dull moment and it is full of challenges. I have learned a lot about a new aircraft programs, from initial development through customer deliveries and field operations support. The management expects a lot of hard work, which makes better workers. Expectations are high. The – more... people working on the F-35 program are some of the hardest working pwople I have ever worked with. The pace of the work, and the challenges, keep it interesting. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that I have accomplished something that helped the program. It is very sarisfying to know that I have the confidence of the customer (US government) because of the work I have done. They have confidence that I will take care of airworthiness related issues that challenge the flight certification efforts. – less

On paper one of the most compliant and bestest places in the whole wide world to work. In reality - wear body armor to defend from the back stabbing and get everything in writing. This is the place that invented barely legal operations and covering everything up by discrediting any and all complaints. Where the millions made by the worker bees go to – more... line the nests of the corporate execs who dontr give a rip about anything but the bottom line. – less

A great place to work, lots of chances to advance, Excellent Online classes.

Interact with various groups such as Design, Stress, Systems, and Dynamics to monitor and maintain mass properties specs for Missiles, Satellites, and Electronic Packages.
